SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL, TRIBUNE Friday. December S. 1954 Mining Law Revision Asked by Waltonians Portland More than a dozen resolutions touching , on power dam construction, revision of mining laws, and water resource legislation were passed by the Oregon division of Izaak Walton League of America at its annual convention last week. The League called for revi sion of federal mining statutes, asking that surface rights on mining claims be separated from sub-surface rights "to prevent claims from being filed or pat ented mainly for valuable tim ber, stream, or other surface re sources ..." Dredging Control Another resolution asks for legislation to control mining dredging operations on Oregon streams. The resolution states that streams are often worth more to the state in their natural condition than are the minerals recovered from them. Ask Forest Money Several resolutions ask for in creased Forest Service appropri ations for. wildlife and recrea tional area development. One of these urges Congress to pass a bill giving the Forest Service more funds for maintenance and development of parks, camp sites and 'other recreational fa cilities. Another urges a Forest Service appropriation- for re search on browse ranges for big game. In resolutions concerning pow er dam construction, the League asks that the Federal Power commission deny the application of the Eugene Water and Elec tric Board for power develop ment on the upper main McKen zie river. The League also ex presses opposition to Bald Mt. project on ' the Illinois river. Bald Mt. dam, which would be built by the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, would prevent pas sage of migratory fish, the reso lution says. The Waltonians also petition the secretary of interior to place in the public domain certain Rogue and Illinois river valley lands which have been with drawn from public entry for power development purposes. The League claims that power development on these lands is remote, and timber and mineral resources in the area withdrawn for power purposes should "be made available to present users." Wildfowl habitat development in the Warner valley and Klam ath basin areas is given consider ation in other resolutions. The league urges development of the Crump lake and Petrie Marsh land areas in Warner valley for wildfowl purposes. It calls for exchanges, sales and cooperative agreements by which land in these areas can be made avail able to the state game commis sion for development as wild life habitat. an- Optometrist Opens New Office Site Dr. Tom Anderson has nounced the opening of his of fice in the Medical Center build ing for the practice of optome try. - Dr. Anderson attended Med ford public schools, and at the time lived here with his grand mother, Mrs. Lucinda Hubbard, 728 East Jackson st.

Tel. 2-2111 Court & McAndrews Clackamas O&C Suit Dismissed By Federal Judge Washington U.R) Federal Judge Alexander Holtzoff yes terday dismissed a law suit by Clackamas county, Oregon, de signed to block the transfer of 472,000 acres of so-called "0 and C lands" from the Interior department to the Agriculture department. .The lands were granted to the Oregon ' & California . railroad many years ago and later be came a part of the national for est. Income from timber ' sales and grazing leases in the area has long been in dispute. In New Legislation The department transfer was provided for in new legislation signed by President Eisenhower last June. Clackamas county ar gued that the Agriculture de partment's methods of selling timber in large lots would bring in smaller income than would be realized under practices follow ed by the Interior department's Bureau of Land Management. Richard L. Merrick, Washing ton, attorney for the county, ar gued that the new law runs counter to previous legislation for the area and deprives 18 Oregon counties of their prop erty rights without the compen sation required by the constitution.

In the case of the woman who wrote the .following letter, it is 'especially unwise. She says: (Q) "I am a widow in my fifties, and I have lived with mv mother, who is in her eighties, ever since I became a widow. She is in Very good health for her age and likes to do things. She and I are inseparable. My children, all of whom are now grown and married, ihink I should have more contacts with friends of my own age. My . mother would rather do things with me than with her contempo raries, so we have just drift ed into being together all the lime. I am beginning io won der if this is 'wise. What is your opinion?" ' ' (A) I agree with your chil dren. You should have other contacts and other interests. It is not good for you or for your mother to be together all the time. True, at your mother's age, many of . her are gone and those who sstot--s are still alive Dr. Hurlocle may not be in as good health as she is. But she could have some friends who are nearer her age than you are and could do some things with them. This would broaden her interests and make her. life more enjoyable. You are much too young to be cutting yourself off from the world as you are doing. You should have friends your own age and should be taking an active part in some of the or ganizations of your community. This does not mean that you should neglect your mother. She might enjoy accompanying you to some of the community or ganizations and doing something there herself. It would be good for her to, have .those outside contacts. As for your friends, there is no reason why your mother should not be around and enjoy their companionship too when they come to your home. Many of them, I am sure, will suggest that your mother accompany you when you come to see them. There are two important things for you to remember. First, a time will come when your mother , will no longer be .'"fed New Process Told For Thorium Recovery Columbus, O.
